Johnson did not travel to Madison, Wis., for FAU’s 31-14 loss to No. 10 Wisconsin on Saturday and was still in the hospital on Monday, according to Owls coach Lane Kiffin. Kiffin did not say whether Johnson would play again this season.

“It was pretty scary,” Kiffin said.

After Saturday’s game, Kiffin said Johnson did not travel because of a medical condition, but did not elaborate on Johnson’s absence. Kiffin said the Owls planned on playing Johnson against the Badgers, but ultimately played only starter Daniel Parr.

Johnson was one of the most high-profile additions to FAU this season after spending last year at East Mississippi Community College. His time at EMCC was featured on the Netflix series “Last Chance U.”

He originally signed with Florida State out of high school but was kicked out after punching a woman at a Tallahassee bar. He was named Mr. Football in Florida in 2014, and is a redshirt sophomore this season.

Johnson had been dealing with an undisclosed injury since at least Aug. 12, limiting his ability to practice fully. He was used sparingly in the season-opener against Navy on Sept. 1, but mostly in run packages. Kiffin did not say whether the medical issue was the same injury Johnson has been dealing with.

He finished the game 2 for 3 for five yards and an interception on a deep ball. Johnson added 31 yards on the ground on four attempts.

Parr started both games for FAU this season, and has completed 57 percent of his passes for 423 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Redshirt junior Jason Driskel figures to slide into the backup quarterback role.
